race or chrome

I was wondering if I can get some views on chrome vs race. I have a 2002 ex and I already have some chrome neeper neptunes which are very beautiful
and eye catching. When I had them on my mazda precidea everyone used to stop me at the lights and ask me were I got them. Anyhow If I am right these
are very heavy rims. My point I am trying to make is that I have ordered the greaddy evo exhaust and the injen intake and I want to to be able to increase my
hp because u dont spend that kind of many to go the same speed but I was wondering if the rims will slow me down. These rims cost me a fortune and if I try
and sell them I will lose lots of money anyways they are 16 inch and they have 205 45 16 rubber yolkahoma t4's.

Thanks in advance.

ha ha its just too funny. sorry to tell u but u wont be gettin much performance from ur exhaust or intake make wat like 7 hp combined. if u have chrome rims then u definately made ur decision to go slow because of their weight.

yes yes they are bling bling rims and I know that and exhaust and a intake is not much but it is also what most of u have done performance wise.
I would like to install a intercooler or a turbo of some kind but nothing has come out for this car yet. So they are heavy but I dont think that there to much
heavier than stock but all 4 add up. P.s i wanna link a pic but dont know how u guys can help out please.

I used to HATE chrome, but I am looking to get chrome rims for my car in the future. Now that we are on the subject of chrome, what chrome rims are the lightest? None of my friends have chrome ...

Get what you want man, its all up to you, I went with chrome and would hate to see my ride with any other rim. to me, the aluminum rims look too much like stock.

Whatever you say Speed Racer.

I'm saving up for some Chrome 16's myself. Gonna be expensive but well worth it. Why, cause they look freakin sweet.

Man, Chrome is HOT . . . yeah, some nice 17 inch. tuner rims may help out those less-than-productive go-fast goodies you purchase, but some 18 or 19 inch CHROME RIMS will have heads leaving broken necks behind to turn towards you as you roll by. Now THAT's the effect I'm looking for . . .
